A beautiful exposed brick house in
Thiruvananthapuram , India built on a small narrow plot -

Narrow Brick House .

The house with a raw material palette is located in a tropical setting of South India designed by Srijit Srinivas Architects .
The Clients presented an extremely narrow site in Thiruvanthapuram as part of their design brief . The inherent challenge was in accommodating a generous 117 sq . m . of built-up area on the elongated 283 sq . m . site , which upon excluding mandatory setbacks on the sides , elicits just 4.8 m ( or a mere room-width ) of working clearance .
This house showcases the power of purposeful spatial design and planning to deliver deft functionality and charm , even in appreciably constrained plots .” says principal architect - Srijit Srinivas .
